    Squeaking disc brakes

    I have had it since day 1 on my rear brake but to be honest i find it more useful than a bell on the cycleways a quick dab of the brake and pedestrians tend to react quicker.

    Woman fighting for life after 'e-bike' hit-and-run in east London

    Totally agree with you RobF especially on the social media issue, By the same rational if the bike proves to be an illegal Ebike will that contribute to the rider being charged on the basis his bike should not have been on the road and was therefore being ridden illegally, which in effect makes...

    Woman fighting for life after 'e-bike' hit-and-run in east London

    Agree with all the above, do we know if the Ebike was legal? as that will make a difference.

    Strange Problem with 2 week old 705SE - 30 miles on the clock.

    I would agree with the above posts, the forum is invaluable for tips and advice on owning an Ebike and hopefully you will now be able to enjoy using yours as i have during the last year and the last 10 days will be a distant memory. Cheers Steve W....

    Strange Problem with 2 week old 705SE - 30 miles on the clock.

    Hi Anthony, I can understand your frustration having gone through the same scenario a couple of months ago, my bike was back up and running in around the same time scale as i am sure yours will probably be, I think there are a few issues here, first of all a slight communication problem at...

    Strange Problem with 2 week old 705SE - 30 miles on the clock.

    Hi, I had the same problem with my 905se regarding the controller and encountered a breakdown of communications with Wisper staff until David got involved then the matter was swiftly remedied in fairness ( although I am still waiting nearly 2 months later for 2 control box screws and a rubber...

    Wisper 905se Nearly a Year and a 1000miles Review.

    Cheers for that, I reckoned if I was managing to get up the hills around here I should probably stick with what i have and if a hub drive is not quite as powerful at least it will build my stamina up. Although getting caught in a thunderstorm on the bike today I thought I might get incinerated...

    Just as a matter of information the battery took just over 4hrs to charge up after the ride which i thought was quite reasonable considering the mileage and climbing. Steve W.....

    Wisper 905se Nearly a Year and a 1000miles Review.

    Hi folks, This weekend I decided it was time to change the forks on my Wisper 905se as I was fed up with white finger caused by the dreadful roads around here. The process was fairly straight forward changing from the Wisper blade forks to a set of Suntour suspension forks which I had purchased...

    Wisper 905se Nearly a Year and a 1000miles Review.

    They are both using Giant Bikes as far as i can tell. Both the 1st series and this series have been excellent showing some great cycle routes.

    Hi there, I am on the West side really, so my playground is The Cat and Fiddle, Wincle, Wildboarclough, Rainow, Bollington and Macclesfield Forest. However there is a great program on TV with George and Larry Lamb cycling around Britain Larry on a Ebike and George on a road bike and in the next...

    Wisper 905se Nearly a Year and a 1000miles Review.

    Hi folks, Thought i would do a short(ish) review on my last 11 months riding the Wisper 905se around the Peak District. The bike was purchased from Swinnerton Cycles last September, very helpful and no problems, I found the build quality very good and ancillaries up to the job ( worth noting...

    "my" Wisper 905 SE arrived on time today

    HI, Glad you are enjoying the bike, i bought a 905se about 10 months ago and it has been excellent, i live at the foot of the Peak District so my cycling is done in the hills and while i agree the 905 Torque would have been a nice option if i had the money the 905se is a great bike. During the...

    Wisper 905se Forks

    Hi folks, having owned my 905se for 10 months now i have come to the conclusion i need some suspension forks, due to the state of the roads in Cheshire and my weary old bones. Will i need a specific type of forks for an ebike due to weight? (the bikes not mine) Suggestions please. Cheers Steve.
